Tons of garbage on the streets and railway tracks. Dramatic reports from Cuba

According to the CiberCuba website, the situation is dramatic in Luyano, the historic district of Havana, the capital of the country. Heaps of garbage have been lying on many streets for at least four months.

A similar situation exists in other large cities in Cuba. Due to fuel shortages, the number of garbage truck trips was limited. Fuel shortages worsened after the US blocked oil supplies to the island.

In Havana, as estimated by an independent portal, only 44 garbage trucks out of a total fleet of 109 hit the streets. The rest do not go into the field due to breakdowns or lack of fuel.

According to the Periodico 26 website, in recent days, due to garbage lying on the railway tracks in the city of Las Tunas, there have been serious difficulties in passenger trains running between Havana and Guantanamo.

As Limay Blanco, an influencer and social activist, said on social media, the piles of garbage lying on the streets of Cuban cities are searched by many people every day.
